    Magic Strings in Radio List

    Hi guys,

    Please can someone clarify whether it's possible to use magic strings as values in a radio list? I'm sure I've seen magic strings used to create multi-lingual back ends...

    Basically I want to have translated string values of a radio list, something like this:

    • [#DataTypes.MyDataType.Value1]
    • [#DataTypes.MyDataType.Value2]
    • ...etc

    Which would then pull from the Dictionary.

    I can't for the life of me get it working. Not sure if I'm being silly, or whether it's simply not possible.

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Kind regards

    Phil

    Hi Phil,

    I haven't tried it myself, but I agree that it'd be great for the labels to work that way.

    Which version of Umbraco are you using? I'm happy to take a look at the core source, see if it can do it or not.

    Cheers,
    - Lee

    I've had a quick look at both v7 and v8 branches of Umbraco core.

    Unfortunately it doesn't do what you wanted, (neither does the dropdown list editor).
